involvement might be as well. good morning, welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. it is wednesday, april 22nd. it is 5:00 a.m. in the east. christine romans is off today. happening today, a new protest is plans in baltimore at the police station where officers brought 25-year-old freddie gray after arresting him ten days ago. somehow, gray suffered a severe spinal cord injury. one wreak later, on sunday he died. baltimore police have now released the names of the six officers involved in arresting and transportinging gray. all six of these officers are suspended with pay. new witnesses are now coming forward, describing that arrest as baltimore's mayor has vowed to find out what happened leading up to the fatal injury. >> i heard the young man screaming, get off of my neck. get off of my neck. you're hurting my neck. and then two cars pulled up shortly after that. one car door slammed. and then another. and they must have went to him and he started hollering and screaming a little louder.

and the police said shut the "f" up. >> there can't be any assignment of blame until we know exactly what happened. but we're going to get to the bottom of it. we know while he was in our custody, when he first engaged the police department he was alive. he was breathing. he was responsive. when medical attention came to mr. gray he was unresponsive and not breathing. we're going to figure out what happened. >> mayor stephanie rawlings-blake. and the justice department announced it's opening a civil rights probe. our miguel marquez covering the protests and has the very latest. miguel. >> reporter: john an incredibly emotional evening here in baltimore with up to 2,000 people turning out to see, for the first time the parents of freddie gray who showed up here

at the western district police station. this is the place where mr. gray was eventually brought after being arrested several blocks away from here. his parents, his mother in particular overwhelmed by grief. they marched from here back over to the place where he was arrested. and at that point, everybody raised their hands in protest. as the family, in a moment of silence, all you could hear is them wail. the neighborhood still focused on this tonight. i'm going to show you a little of what that protest looked like. >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> i want you to lift those hands as high as you can. i want this to be a sign to the baltimore city police department that this is not an act of surrender. but we're coming as a sign of strength as one unity, one commitment that we will not rest until we get justice for

freddie gray. >> reporter: and at one point protesters then did start walking through the streets of this area of west baltimore. they tried to grab the mike. they were very very aggressive even towards us. but they weren't angry at the press. they were angry at the police. they were angry at the mayor. they were angry at the government here people saying it's us in this neighborhood what they want now is the six officers who are implicated in this arrested and charged with first degree murder they say they will be back tomorrow night, they'll be back on thursday. they'll go down to city hall they say and stay there until they get justice. john. >> our miguel marquez live for us in baltimore. new this morning, there was supposed to be calm over yemen. saudi arabia had announced it was stopping its nearly month-long bombing campaign over that nation. but breaking this morning, apparently houthi remembers have staged a raid on some kind of base there. and saudi arabia responded by

dropping bombs. so that calm that we're expecting hasn't happened at least not yet. let's go straight to our senior international correspondent nic robertson and bring us the latest on these developments. good morning, nic. >> reporter: good morning, john the houthis in that south town of taiz was trying to take over that last army base that they didn't control. the saudis brought in air strikes under that base or the houthi attack. the houthis seem to be driven back from that. this is in stark contrast from what they believed. they believed that the houthi had agreed to put down their weapons leave the cities like taiz that they have taken by force over the last month or so. we understand from saudi sources that other parts of that deal like the former president, agreed to leave the country and go into exile. that is believed to have been happening. the defense minister who had been arrested captured by the houthis, he is believed to be being released.

so some elements of the agreement are in place. of course, that threatens that deal, that cease-fire to the saudi air strikes. we're also learning as well, new developments in the southern port city of macala this is a town that al qaeda had made big gains over the past month, using the chaos to take over army equipment stores. to take over navy vessels. we're learning two u.s. drone strikes they believe have killed six al qaeda fighters there. again, this follows on from a similar strike there on monday. so al qaeda had been taking advantage. everyone's fear and it seems u.s. drone strikes at least targeting some of those al qaeda members in this chaos. >> nic robertson for us. a remarkable range of situations in yemen right now. as nic was saying the bombing campaign still bombing. the houthis still raiding. and the united states with drone strikes in al qaeda which say

totally separate situation. meanwhile, a tense situation occurs offshore. the u.s. believes an iranian convoy could be carrying weapons bound for the houthi rebels. president barack obama said the u.s. navy is to about sure the free flow of u.s. shipping traffic. >> what we've said to them is if there are weapons delivered to factions within yemen, they could threaten navigaton, that's a problem. and we're not sending them obscure messages. we send them very direct messages about it. >> iran is now calling for humanitarian aid to yemen. and iran said it's backing a political process. the standoff really does only complicate efforts to work out a nuclear deal with iran. those talks, the u.s. iran and other power, they start again in vienna today. i want to bring in our senior

international correspondent frederik pleitgen inside iran with all of these things going on in yemen, in vienna in the gulf right there. fred, what the the view from where you are? >> reporter: yeah, john you also, of course have the battle against isis as well where the u.s. and iran certainly don't have a common position but they do have a common enemy in that. so there are many moving parts to all of this. and the one thing you can really feel on the ground here in iran is that big lack of trust towards the united states. of course that is something that goes both way. we do have to keep in mind that the situation in yemen right now certainly could be a problem for nuclear negotiations as you said they are set to resume today in vienna. one of the big things that the iranians have told us they say from their point of view as far as the nuclear negotiations are concerned, the main thing is the sanctions.

they wanted sanctions to go away. they say that they're also looking very closely at the nuclear negotiations because they believe a good deal if it holds if it comes into place, and if it holds could really improve the feeling between these two sides also on a military level. let's listen in to what the commander of iran's ground forces told me. >> translator: at the moment we consider the united states to be a threat to us because its policies and actions are threatening to us. we would like the u.s. to change its rhetoric and tone of voice so that our nation could have more trust in u.s. military leadership. >> reporter: now, at the same time as you said there is also the situation in yemen. and that is one that's certainly complicating things between the u.s. and iran earlier today. the speaker of iran's parliament he went on tv and he praised the yemenis for resistance to the saudis.

and that's making something difficult. the standoff at sea is something that the iranians are not taking well. they said they never had intentions to deliver weapons to the houthis. of course, u.s. officials don't buy that at this point. >> frederik pleitgen inside tehran. thanks fred. the full senate could debate as early as today that would give congress power to weigh in on any nuclear deal with iran. they approved a compromise version of the bill. president obama had promised a veto before the compromise. that compromise gives congress 30 dice look at an agreement. the president plans to sign the agreement if there are no big changes. attorney general eric holder announced that the head of the drug enforcement agency michele leonhart is now retiring. she's been under investigation since dea were accused of paying

for prostitutions. and they had a bipartisan statement of no confidence. she has led the dea since 2007. eric holder is still in office because his proposed replacement loretta lynch is still waiting for don firmation. her nomination has been held up for months over an unrelated senate controversy over a human trafficking bill. that controversy finally appears to have been resolved. mitch mcconnell expects to announce a compromise bill that would clear the way for a vote to confirm the attorney general nominee. loretta lynch will be the first african-american woman to lead the justice department. new details this morning about a huge ice cream recall. alison kosik here. >> this seems to be more serious. the outbreak of listeria linked to the ice cream has been going on since 2010.

that's what the cdc is saying. the company has been gradually recalling certain items for weeks but what happened this week blue bell recalled every product sold in 23 states because of the potential health risks. three people in kansas have died and ten others have gotten sick in the past year likely linked to bacteria from blue bell products. so everybody wants to know how did the listeria get into the ice cream. it actually did not get into the milk. listeria can travel on nuts and live for years in the factory like drains and pipes. that's exactly, john what the cdc thinks happened here. >> and they pulled everything off. a want you to look the a picture of the boston marathon bomber trial. that's tsarnaev. these are the pictures that the jury saw. but there was another picture that caused drama in the courtroom. what dzhokhar tsarnaev showed the camera and what this now means for the likelihood that he
